WORKING WHILE COLLECTING DISABILITY BENEFITS - PDF

Many people who are collecting disability benefits would like to consider doing some

work if it won’t interfere with their benefit payments. Whether they are covered under

Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI), Supplemental Security Income (SSI), from a

private disability insurance policy or a combination of programs, most will offer some

incentives for work attempts. While work can provide a supplement to the disability

income, more importantly, it can also improve the spirit and can help alleviate the

depression that often accompanies total disability.

For persons with HCV symptoms, there are days when some work is possible even

though it may not be eight hours, five days a week. However, people are often hesitant

to try any type of employment out of fear that it may jeopardize their disability benefits.

The first rule of working while collecting disability is to thoroughly understand the rules

so your benefits don’t get unexpectedly stopped. These rules vary depending on who is

paying the disability benefits.
